The History Of The Study Of Landforms Or The Development Of Geomorphology Volume 5

This volume is the fifth in the definitive series, The History of the Study of Landforms or the Development of Geomorphology. Volume 5 covers, in detail, the revolutionary changes in approach that characterized the study of geomorphology in the second half of the twentieth century. It is divided into three sections: the first deals with changes in approach and method; the second with changes in ideas and the broader scientific context within which geomorphology is studied; and the final section details advances in research on processes and landforms. The volume's objective is to describe and analyse many of the developments that provide a foundation for the rich and varied subject matter of twenty-first century geomorphology.
